Answer by tulip_five
You really didn’t give enough information on the size of the home. Then there are other variables like the brand of paint and the finish, i.e. flat or semi-gloss. The cheapest around here is about for a 5 gallon pail. I painted our ranch style house, 1100 square foot, with one 5 gallon pail, but I also painted some of the stuff with contrast and that was another 2 or 3 gallons.

Unless you know what type of paint is already existing on the house, the safest thing to do is to use an oil based primer on it first and then a latex paint on top of that. It is a large project that you will not want to have to redo because the paint will not stick. I would buy 5 gallons of primer and 5 gallons of latex to start with. You can buy these paints for as little as 50 dollars each at home depot. Also clean and scrap well first.

Question–: What type of paint should I use to pain exterior entry steel door?
I have a steel entry exterior door that I wanted to paint. What kind of paint would work best? (Oil based, latex, acrylic, etc). And also, if I use exterior paint on the exterior part or the door, what kind of paint do I use on the inside part of the door? Should I use exterior paint for the outside of the door and interior paint for the inside? Or exterior for both? Please Help!

paint the whole door with a good quality enamel paint

Answer by handyrand
Latex will work fine. The same exterior paint can be used on the interior. If the door gets any direct sunlight, don’t paint it a dark color. Serious burns from the hot door will happen if it is a dark color.

If you are unsure what type of paint is on your door simply prime it with one of Shewin Williams primers. After primed you can use whatever paint you want to. If you want to extend the life of the newly painted door you can put a coat of EAP clear or gloss and by doing this it will make your door graffiti proof.

EAP can be found at nttp://www.kinlochusa.com

It is sold as a stone sealer but I have used it on painted surfaces for graffiti protection and it cleans easily.

paint the door using spray can of exterior for metal will come out with no brush marks

Answer by jak7028
Assuming it is bare metal….

Clean it and prime it with an oil primer first.

If it gets a lot of sunlight, use a rust inhibitive acrylic (latex) paint for better gloss and color retention than an oil. If it does not get heavy sunlight and rust is a higher concern, go with an alkyd (oil) topcoat over the primer.

I would use the same paint for both sides. A lot of metal paints are interior/exterior anyway.
